The Loner - Nils Lofgren

He’s a perfect stranger

Like a cross of himself and a fox

He’s a feeling arranger

And a changer of the way he talks

Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

It’s the loner

If you see him in the subway

He’ll be down at the end of the car

Watching you move

Until he knows, he knows who you are

Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

It’s the loner

There was a woman he knew

About a year or so ago

On the day that she left

He died but it did not show

Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

It’s the loner
